Mom in the Hospital

Well, I'm not sure why, but the doctor's identified some fluid around her heart. They plan to drain it on Monday and hopefully figure out if it's a huge problem, or just another bump in the road.

This stay at the hospital has postponed one procedure that was supposed to be this week, so hopefully that will get rescheduled so that she can continue her chemotherapy routine and keep the existing cancers at bay.

She's very anxious for us to firm up our trip to Vegas as we're hoping to go before it gets too hot there, but we may just have to plan lots of indoor activities once we do get things finalized.

Please keep her in your prayers, and we'll hope for the best.

I forgot how to leave a post, I'll work on that.

So as of yesterday mom was not well. Her BP was too low 8?/5? so they would not give her morphine for the pain which on a scale of 1-10 she said was 12. Her BP is getting somewhat better but is still low. Luckily she did score some morphine late last night.

It hurts to do anything basically and she needs help getting to the rest room. She is still on liquids , of which i had to feed her last night. Hopefully today when i see her she will be a bit better but prayers are certainly needed. I don't see her coming home at least till thursday if that since at this point she requires so much care and our place is such a mess she couldn't manage to get around.

Other than that she is trying to be in good spirits. Our friend Roberta has been up there alot so that support has been much welcomed and needed.

I will post everyday as I am too busy to handle calls except for craig.
